Stoke-on-Trent City Council leader, Mohammed Pervez, said: “The installation of the
photovoltaic panels is part of our remit to create a sustainable energy future for Stoke-onTrent and sits within the government’s targets to reduce household carbon emissions by
29 percent by 2020. As a city we have set ourselves tough goals to reduce our carbon
footprint and energy consumption, while increasing energy efficiency through smart
initiatives and technologies. Through working with Kier Stoke and E.ON we are heading in
the right direction to achieve our goals. What’s more, the scheme is not going to cost the
council tenants anything; it is all being funded by the council and our partners.”Michael
Woodhead, managing director of E.ON’s Sustainable Energy business, added: “By
coming together as a community and building energy efficiency into our everyday lives –
homes, businesses, how we travel, how we shop – we can make a start on becoming more
energy fit, making a difference in lowering energy bills and reducing our effect on the
planet.“For us, being energy fit is about thinking differently. Everyone’s heard of ‘reduce,
reuse, recycle’ and now across Stoke we’re looking at the need to ‘insulate, moderate,
generate’. It’s about insulating our homes properly and moderating the way we use
energy to cut out waste. And it’s also about generating the power we need, where we need
it. And that’s exactly what we’re looking at here in Stoke.”
